Has anyone heard of using fruit powder as a colorant?

Welcome!!! You will learn so much here, there are so many talented and knowledgable people to help!

Oh my gosh...that cutter looks awesome!

I would try a different recipe. It is going to be just like store bought shampoo...in that some will work better on your hair than others. I just don't think you have found the right recipe for your hair.

I was just reading a post on a different board, about a fragrance oil totally ruining a batch, and there were tons of replies saying that lots of them, even if they claim to be safe for soap, cause huge problems.

It turned out great!

Welcome! I have learned a ton, in my short time here!

Does anyone know...if this type of liquid silk, do you still have to kill the silkworms to get it? Or is this the kind that taken from them after they have died?

Welcome!

They turned out great congratulations!

Welcome...you will learn a ton here!

I would agree with the use a of subtle fragrance/essential oil. It should mask the odor of the plain soap.

Welcome...I have been here about a month, and am learning a ton already!

Weight. Just think of a volume...like 1 oz of water vs. 1 oz of caro syrup...the volume would be the same, but not the weight. Caro is thicker, so you have to use the weight measure for your recipe.

I agree...if you are more comfortable doing it the old way, I am sure if it worked before it will work now. I think most people sort of have their own system they use, and everyone does it slightly different.
